"Old Chen, you know that the physical industry isn't as simple as these young people imagine. If you're not careful, you can lose everything. Are you really willing to let your grandson take over this mess?"

These words truly struck a chord with Chen Tiancheng. He also didn't want his grandson to take over this mess, but Chen Feng's certainty made it impossible for him to refuse. Although he appeared very strict with his grandson on the surface, deep down he doted on Chen Feng immensely.

"Even if they fail, let them learn from their mistakes. At worst, I'll lose all my retirement money."

"Alright then, in that case, I'll go discuss it with our partners. You know Old Li and the others; most of them will likely agree to this."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

By the third day, Chen Feng's grandfather returned home humming a tune. Seeing that Chen Feng was still there, he immediately reported good news.

"Chen Feng, your grandpa has sorted things out for you. They plan to transfer this factory to you for a price of 1.5 million. All the money will be transferred to their account and then distributed to the workers. The equipment in this factory will be transferred under your company's name."

Chen Feng was immediately very happy upon hearing this. A price of 1.5 million wasn't very expensive. Of course, some of the equipment in this factory had already been sold, leaving only one production line. However, one production line was still one production line; it could barely be used, after all, the factory's foundation was still there.

"By the way, Grandpa, what about the workers? I still hope they can continue to work for me."

"What are you thinking? The workers have naturally left on their own. And even if they wanted to come, I wouldn't let them. I can't let you ruin them. If you want to do this, you'll have to hire new workers yourself. Those workers are old employees; how can you harm them?"

"You're truly my own grandpa."

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly, then went to prepare. After some time, he had completed the handover of the factory through his grandfather, and the factory was now under the name of Corona Technology Company.

He now truly had a factory in the real sense. As for school, he hadn't been there for a long time. Although taking such a long leave was problematic, he couldn't do anything about it.

He had already moved his 3D Printer to this factory. This factory didn't cover a large area, only a few mu of land, with one production line and not even a single worker.

He was now a true bare-bones commander, so he had to recruit some people and also build another warehouse. This warehouse would be for another production line, specifically for using the 3D Printer to print other models and such.

Therefore, he could directly cut off this production line, which meant putting the small 3D Printer aside and not using it. However, it wasn't time for that yet; he would wait until his Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset was released.

Hiring people was also very simple. He found a few headhunters and successfully got his company up and running. After all, he still had money now. However, regarding his assistant, he still needed to consider it carefully.

He had notified many headhunters, asking them to help him find some experienced management personnel who were currently looking for employment, and then have them come for interviews. The salary and benefits would definitely not be low.

A few days later, a large number of people came for interviews. Some of them, after being screened by the headhunters, indeed had real talent, but the other part completely failed to meet Chen Feng's requirements.

He had to screen them and quickly selected a person named Liu Qiuya. This person had very strong management experience, graduated from a domestic 985 management university, and had high qualifications.

When Liu Qiuya came for the interview, she also had a try-it-out attitude. After all, for a while now, due to personal reasons, she could only look for a job in Ning City. However, Ning City was too small a pond to hold her. She had planned to venture into a big city, but due to special circumstances, she could only stay here.

When she came to interview at Corona Technology Company, she was a bit disappointed. After all, this company seemed to have only one production line, and it was even stopped. She didn't know what had happened, and it looked like it was waiting to be rebuilt. It was said that this place was an old factory before and had recently been sold to a new buyer.

Moreover, the boss was a young man, which made it even harder for Liu Qiuya to accept. However, in the end, she still agreed to stay at this company because the boss gave her a reason she couldn't refuse.

"As long as you manage the company well, I'll give you an annual salary of 500,000 plus commission."

It must be said that having money makes you willful. In Chen Feng's opinion, 500,000 wasn't much. His annual income from the 3D Printer alone was several million.

Giving 500,000 plus commission to this person with considerable management experience was completely fine, as long as she could operate his company well.

By the third day, Liu Qiuya came to work directly.

On her first day of work, she showed extremely outstanding work ability. The workers in the factory had already started working, but they lacked management, so they were still a disorganized mess.

But with Liu Qiuya's arrival, they immediately started operating efficiently. The management personnel were very afraid of Liu Qiuya, and the workers even directly called Liu Qiuya the Ice Queen.

It took a few days, and Liu Qiuya had already made everyone obedient. Chen Feng was still very happy about this, but Liu Qiuya then came to Chen Feng.

"Boss, up until now, I still don't understand what our company is doing. Besides one production line, there is only a very small-scale production line and a warehouse. That small-scale production line seems to be able to produce delicate hand-made models and various other things. Is our company going to operate based on that kind of thing?"

What made Liu Qiuya most uncomfortable was this feeling of being in the dark. If it continued like this, she might not be able to stand it and would leave. She didn't want to waste her time here.

"Liu Qiuya, you might feel a bit strange right now, but haven't I recently asked the workers to speed up the debugging and operation of the factory equipment? It won't be long before we start production. Of course, what we produce will only be samples. Next, we will hold a press conference. I will prepare the PPT with the specific details tomorrow, and you will be able to understand what our company does tomorrow."
